uninstall Apple Store, which comes pre-installed in iOS, to stop getting these notifications

edited post. The original description & title was me complaining about this notification thinking it was default behavior of iOS, not knowing it came from the Apple Store

You really to use a Chinese Android device to actually the know the actual bloat. Samsung looks a innocent child infront of it.

What? Like Xiaomi? Ive never actually used a chinese android phone. Is it that bad?

I have a Poco phone. It's not that bad. There's ads in file manager, pop-up ads after you install any app and it's constantly trying to phone home. But I use NextDNS with some blocklists. They already have tracking protection for Xiaomi devices in beta as well.

Same as me. But I would like to stress that NextDNS Xiaomi filters aren't best. They miss out a lot of trackers. So, you might have to add those individually.

I have also recently switched to CrDroid for my device. The activity of these blockings have dropped by 30%. Lot more privacy for the device.
